What is the rated output of the compressor (cfm) at the psi that the grinder requires? Grinders are air hogs, the compressor may not be enough to run it. [Reply]   [No Email]

I got rid of all my pneumatic sanders and grinders. Use electric instead. Use a dimmer switch and a receptical to make grinders variable speed. Electric grinders and sanders us way less electricity.

Close enough to John Deere yellow. I have three 4.5in dewalt right angle grinders. The biggest ones use 10 amps, 120v, 1200 watts. A 6.5 hp air compressor is going to use way more than 1200 watts. I can't stop my grinders. I have a wire brush on one, a metal cutting disk on another and a grinding disk on the other. I use the dimmer switch on the wire brush. The grinder can do serious damage if it gets away from you. Will never go back to pneumatic tools. Don't leave home without my grinders. George [Reply]  [No Email]
